Clockwork is ok. it is just taking some getting used to. i do NOT like this whole fake flash idea. this means that my phone needs to fully boot up for me to use Rom Manager to boot into Clockwork recovery. This sucks because a bad flash can make my phone not boot! just my 2 cents. i prefer a permanent recovery over a fake one any day. If I actually had real recovery.img i could make a permanent one from Amon_RA's source. I made an updated one for the Cliq from his source with ease
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
You can just leave the cw recovery as the update.zip and boot into recovery and reinstall packages to boot up cw...

So I just hold vol up/down.. Power

Then reinstall packages

Im now in cwmod recovery...

Fake flash is a flash to a diff recovery from thee stock recovery..

My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Wow, what's wrong with you guys? And why has this thread not been closed yet....?

To all you people who have all of these reasons not to like cw, then don't use it... simple as that...

And for so many people talking about wishing code was open and why hasnt amon ra been ported yet, guess what.... It is open source, go to his web site get what you need and quit *****ing.

Sorry if this was out of line but some one needs to close this joke.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
the name of the thread is "Alternative Recovery". justsayin
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
This thread was started back in July before we had clockwork. The "Alternative Recovery" was referring to an Alternative to the stock recovery, not Clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] gothdroid:
Just letting everyone know that I have talked to Amon_RA and he gave me the go ahead once I get outta the field to work on creating it for the Vibrant. I'll probably be going the same route as Koush did with clockwork
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
well i have been working with Amon_RA's source and just about have it completed for the Vibrant. it would be nice to have a real recovery.img to flash, but until one surfaces we might be stuck with the fake-flash method.
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
The recovery is part of the kernel, so there won't be a img to flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Wow are you guys for real?

CW Mod is one bad @?? Recovery. In my opinion, the most logical,safe, and easiest way to have ANY kind of recovery. Come on guys, theres no worry of flashing a recovery incorrect and somehow damaging your phone. This is full proof and how recoveries should be.

CW FOR LIFE HOMIE. HAHA

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhorrerHouse:
In ROM Manager, after going to "Manage and Restore Backups", and select the file I want to restore, a window pops up with the message: "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing."

I'm not sure what is wrong. If it helps, I'm on an EVO and I didn't use the default name that ROM Manager generated and used my own. EDIT: I've also gone into Recovery > Nandroid > Restore and selected the desired backup. I then get the message: "MD5 mismatch!"

Thanks in Advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I've never used Rom Manager, but do you know what recovery you are using? I usually just boot into recovery and use the option to restore from there. When phone is off, hold volume down and power then use vol down to select recovery
[HD2 General] Baldrick2:
Honest guys, I searched and searched here and all over the internet

I've had my HD2 for about 6 months now. I'm not up to your level of tweakiness with mobile phones

Just upgraded to the latest O2 ROM - 1.72.xxx ?

AND I realise posting new threads on here is faux pas in the extreme, but I spent hours searching and I have a headache plus maybe a small deathwish now!

Please, please, please can someone tell me the answers to;

1. What format do my music videos have to be in, on my storage card, to pick them up in the Photo's and Video's album? I've converted them to mp4 but still I'm told there are no videos found

2. My previous phone was a POS LG Renoir, however, compared to my HD2 it had one redeeming quality in that any photo I looked at I could select 'Send' and Bluetooth was an option. On my HD2 Facebook, Messages etc etc are the only options. Up until 6 months ago I used the bluetooth on my Renoir alot to send work photos. Is there anyway to enable this 'right click' function?

3. I signed up for this phone for 2 years, thinking it was the bees knees. Colleagues at work all waited for the HD2 Desire, and it looks fantastic. I'd ditch WinMo in a heartbeat to have Android - but after reading 100 pages of the 415 available....Is Android a viable option yet? (not taking away the extremely hard word the developers have put into it)

Sorry for asking such newbie questions but as I said originally I just can't find the answers on here (probably because of my ineptitude with using the search function)

Balders
[HD2 General] ozmoran:
Not sure if it helps but a work around for sending pics via bluetooth is using file explorer instead of album providing of course you know where your pics are and you know what the pics is called unless you have renamed them you can then press and hold the pic until menu pops up the first option is send via bluetooth

Not sure about the Vids did you save them to your storage card/video folder?

Just read up a little there is another option, you can use the pictures and video app which is in the multimedia folder in start menu this will show what pics you have on device or SD card with thumbnails again hold the pic and select bluetooth from pop up menu

Again regarding Vids I had several Vids which were stored in my DCM folder and did not show up in Album/Video I just moved them to the video folder on my SD card and now they show up so check that out
[HD2 General] Baldrick2:
Thanks ozmoran for your reply

The bluetooth thing works a treat, can find pics by thumbnail and send by bluetooth. Much better than the work around I had figured using file explorer

Not as easy as having bluetooth being a send option from albums though (just in case anyone can make this work!!) :)

As for vids showing under albums, I did what you suggested, even reformatted the card. But unfortunately for me it still doesn't work. When I use the album 'search' bit the phone sees two files briefly (two music vids I've encoded to mp4) but then disappears them and says 'no photos or videos found'. I can browse to them normally and play them, in fact they look fantastic. Video I record on the phone shows up in Albums ok, so I guess it's a problem with the way I've encoded mine. I'll do a gspot comparison tomorrow and try to figure out where I'm going wrong

Really annoying though, I wanted the HD2 to be like an iPhone 4 but with the capability of making phone calls!! hahahaha!

Balders :D
[HD2 General] ozmoran:
oh well half the problem solved

I had the same prob with Avatar the file was too big I think I re encoded it and now I can watch it but only with media player and it wont show up in my vids in album either

You could always make a shortcut to your vids and put them on a quicklink I suppose

all depends how fast you want to find those vids eh

let me know how it goes

Ps this is much better than the other one and you know it ha ha
[XPERIA X10 General] marosf:
Hi everybody

I have R2BA020 Generic UK, but I need R1FA014 or later 1235-5527 Customized CE1 (Central Europe). I lost my backup and it is very important for me.
[EVO 4G General] netarchy:
What is more of a priority to you: Uncapped framerates or HDMI-out ?
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
Where's option 3 with automatic toggling if an hdmi cable is connected?! I keed I keed :D
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Have the devs found the actual cap? Not some dirty LCD hack.
[EVO 4G General] netarchy:
The main cap is probably being set in the radio, which leaves us with having to work around it to uncap framerates. Ideally if it's possible to get both uncapped framerates and hdmi-out working at the same time that's the solution that will be used.
[EVO 4G General] lilflip21:
I vote framerate for now... but hopefully there is some long term solution to both :)
[EVO 4G General] psychopsilocin:
I'll take framerate. HDMI would put up more of a fight if we could get full output of the android system instead of just selective video.
[EVO 4G General] acme64:
I still don't understand why the cap is a big deal. What can't you do that requires double the framerate?
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
I'd go with the fps because the hdmi is still restricted with output options anyway
[EVO 4G General] psychopsilocin:
Gaming without annoying lag and stuttering. Smooth transitions between home screens. Better live wallpaper performance. Feel as smooth overall as the HTC Aria :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
the device being capped at 30 fps wouldn't be a problem if the device wouldn't drop below 30fps but it often does during 3d games (the human eye typically perceives anything over 19 fps as fluid motion, without choppiness or studdering). so the main reason to uncap the framerate is because it gives you more wiggle room for the fps to drop without you noticing choppiness.

so if you were capped at 30 fps and a game caused a performance drop of 12 fps then you would now be at 18fps and you will notice choppiness,

but if the fps were unlocked to 44 (which is the novatek right now i think) and that same game dropped the 12 fps, you would now be running at 32 fps and you will notice no choppiness.

it can be hard for someone to understand sometimes as most people dont properly explain WHY having higher fps is nice instead of just sounding like iphone users "its so smooth!" like the guy above me lol.
[EVO 4G General] BuddaBelly:
I vote frame rate. Less than 1% of the time would be spent using HDMI for me anyway.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
Didn't someone post this already ?
[EVO 4G General] docprego:
I couldn't care less about HDMI, disable it permanently to uncap the frame rate for all I care.
[EVO 4G General] wasd321:
HDBaseT>hdmi

http://www.pcworld.com/article/200301/new_technology_could_replace_hdmi_with_ethernet_cables.html
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
What about just maintaining 2 different kernels and if u wanna use hdmi you could easily flash one kernel then flash right back to the fps fixed kernel when your finished seems like the most logical way to go
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Considering the OP is spear heading development on a dual Nova/Epson kernel, I think it is okay for the question to be asked on a very real basis...
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
the poll was our idea. we needed to see who wanted what. it came from a discussion we were having on #HTC-EVO (<~shameless plug) about the issues were facing and what to do about the community kernel. we figured the real answer would come from... well... the community. anyhow they both need to be fixed for there to actually be a fix. imo a broke isnt fixed so that was the discussion. anyhow hope that settles ths little debate. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Unless a future work-around includes being able to use the HDMI output for use with the actual phone interface and not just videos, I see no real point of using it at all.

So, definitely uncapped.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
My only complaint about the Evo has been the laggy touch response. If uncapping the framerate fixes that, which the op's kernel that I flashed today has on my phone, I am willing to do without the hdmi. While I would prefer to have everything working, getting rid of the touch lag is the highest priority to me.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Using the 'dirty' fix will pretty much fix the input, go check out the 3.6.3 fix, it will almost remove all lag
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
Ohh sorry I apologize didn't realize it was an official vote for a new kernel.:)

I don't own HD tv so I would prefer the capp off.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
The 8 people that chose HDMI out over frame rates probably just sneezed when they were clicking. :D
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
BUMP! So that people see this.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
voted to have the uncapped fps; i just don't see myself ever using the HDMI output at all; i also don't see myself buying the HDMI cable and carry it around just in case i have to use it; rather have smooth scrolling and able to enjoy the few games that i play

of course, the best option would be to place the cap once the HDMI cable is plugged it, but not sure if that will get done
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
since picking up my evo just after release date, I have not ever used HDMI out. have no HDMI TVs. don't own an HDMI convert cable. may use this once a year, and can easily flash a stock kernel for that.
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Ill take fps I never use hdmi
[EVO 4G General] abmone:
If it was full hdmi. Like everything on the screen then its a close race.

But for now ill have to go with the cap.
[EVO 4G General] jmxp69:
The impact of frame rate can be felt on the phone 100% of the time. This is an easy question to answer. I do wonder if anybody is exploring HDMI notifications to drop the frame rate dynamically though.
[EVO 4G General] :
Netarchy's kernel has improved this phone so much. HDMI would not be worth losing the performance increases, even if it was a always on HDMI.
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
Ouch. Is there no hope for a true uncapped FPS? What we have is great, don't get me wrong.

I'm wondering how close the work around is to an actual uncapped experience. Can anyone with a N1 and uncapped Evo offer a comparison? Haven't seen one.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
UNCAPPED. It would be nice to had an auto option for when HDMI is in use, but if I cant have both, I'll take the FPS fix. It would be far more beneficial.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
hi

im thinking of buying the HTC Desire and have some important thinks i need to know since i can't use it before buying it

1. how is the battery life? (if you can be very specific it would be great)

2. how is the browser?

3. is there any WIFI toggel for fast swiching? is it connect to WIFI fast as the iphone?

4. AMOLED display? is it really that good? and what will happen to the phone if i use it outside- over sunlight or at the beach? could i really see anything or not?

5. can i make serch for songs by name in the music player?

6. how is the loudspeaker ?? is it bad?

7. how is the camera qulaty of photos and videos? can i compare them to NOKIA N95 camera? better or worse?

8. is it really support a 32 GB micro sd ?? if yes can someone bring me link to ebay where i can buy it? have to be from SAN DISK? or kingston is good also?

9. should i wait for and new HTC ACE (the romer of evo GSM ?)

thats it for now ill have more qustian when ill remember

thanks !!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ch3m1kal:
Hi, this is just my personal experience with my Desire, that i've had for about 2 months now.

1. The battery lasts about 2 days with low-medium usage, or about 1 day with about 1 hour of music, some talk, lots of texting and some browsing and various messing around with apps. I usually charge it up every night to just to be sure.

2. The browser is absolutely excellent and the best i've ever used on a mobile device. And it will be even better when the 2.2 update comes out.

3. Yes, there is a widget called power control that lets you toggle wifi, bluetooth, gps, syncing and backlight quickly. Mine connects to the wi-fi in just a few seconds, i'd say about 3-5, also it supports auto connection when in range.

4. I personally love the AMOLED, the colours are awesome, and i really love that there is no backlight bleed like on regular lcds. My friends with iphones agree that it's bettter. In bright sunlight it's only visible enough to answer calls and maybe read the time, otherwise it's pretty much washed out, you will not be able to browse the net or do anything that requires reading text without a great deal of effort, however i do not find regular lcd to be much more usable in the same conditions.

5. Yes, but only if you're in the songs panel.

6. I'd call the loudspeaker fair, not great, but not bad. It sounds reasonably good, but it could be louder.

7. Camera is bad my standards, but i do tend to be very picky about my photography and use an SLR camera. It's ok in daylight, and for quick snaps, i guess but i mostly use it for google goggles, and taking pictures on signs and things i want to remember without writing then down. I never had an N95 so i can't say.

8. As far as i know it does, but i have not tried it. I personally have a 16GB Sandisk bought from Amazon.

9. It's really up to you, the Desire is pretty much the best phone on the market right now IMHO and you will definitely be happy with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
hi

1. how is the battery life? (if you can be very specific it would be great) Pretty good considering all the phones features. I charge mine every night just to be safe, the phone uses micro USB so could even charge in the office if needed. I get about 1.5 days out of mine from a charge but i am always online or texting.

2. how is the browser? The browser is great, so quick and easy to use. The browser even supports windows so you can have more than one page open at once. If you use RSS feeds there's also a great News app on the phone too.

3. is there any WIFI toggel for fast swiching? is it connect to WIFI fast as the iphone? Yes there is, there's the power control widget as mentioned which gives control of wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, display and i think airplane mode, but you can also place individual "switches" on the home screen too.

4. AMOLED display? is it really that good? and what will happen to the phone if i use it outside- over sunlight or at the beach? could i really see anything or not?Much better than the AMOLED screen on my old Nokia N85. I find it fairly easy(although not desireable) to use out in broad daylight, but i do live in the UK so if you're anywhere a bit more sunny then you may have a problem i guess.

5. can i make serch for songs by name in the music player?Yes

6. how is the loudspeaker ?? is it bad? It's good enough for me, but could be a little louder.

7. how is the camera qulaty of photos and videos? can i compare them to NOKIA N95 camera? better or worse?I'd say the camera is better than the N95 and also the N85 which i had after that but not as good as a dedicated camera which is the case with most phones.

8. is it really support a 32 GB micro sd ?? if yes can someone bring me link to ebay where i can buy it? have to be from SAN DISK? or kingston is good also?The spec says 32GB is supported but never tried one as i don't need that much memory on my phone really.

9. should i wait for and new HTC ACE (the romer of evo GSM ?)It's all down to you, all i can say is i love my Desire and feel i made the right choice buying one.

thats it for now ill have more qustian when ill remember

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auldreekie:
1: Depends how many apps you have running in the background, bog standardd straight out the box battery last about 24 hours or less, stop some background tasks that you don't really need all the time you will double the the battery life.

2: Browser works fine for me, I don't have a problem with it.

3: Never used a Iphone so I can't compare, I leave Wifi on permanently, 3Gs Mobile Internet I have switched off because I'm only on a xx amount of mb per month so it saves connecting without me knowing (ie; updates etc), I only turn it on when I want. Plus it saves more battery usage.

4: Display is supern , it impresses me, as for viewing in bright sun it can be difficult without shading the screen but I think that goes for ANY mobile phone does it not?

5: Not in the actual standard music program, maybe in other apps, however you can use Astro file manager app, do a search in the mp3 folder for a song, tap it when found and it will play.

6: Speaker is fine, sounds good to me but then again it's not a £500.00 + pounds stereo system is it. I've certainly heard a lot worse.

7: Camera , I never used Nokia so again can't compare, It'll never be as good as my Canon 40D dslr but it's not bad, you can mess around with limited manual settings if you wish. Heres a sample only resized for forum, Don't know if pics are allowed here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50387619@N00/4801613634/

8: I got a 4GB micro sd card supllied with mine (Orange) other providers might be different. San Disk seems to have the better reputation when it comes to camera cards so I'd probably go with them, be careful on Ebay a lot of fake san disks on there.

9: If you wait for the new Ace or any other, by the time they are ready for release there will probably be another new one getting tested and you will be repeating your question again.

Bill is in the post :-) :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
The Desire is an excellent device, had mine for a month and would highly recommend it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benman27:
I will give you a brief rundown of my experiences:

1: I get around 18 hours of battery, this is with 90 minutes of music at loud volume, an hour of watching tv programs on the train, several calls, text messages and emails.

2: Browser is the best I've ever seen, much better that the iphone browser in my opinion. Smooth scrolling, very fast loading.

3: wifi is very quick to lock on, very easy to set up and can be toggled on and off from the home screen in seconds.

4: Amoled screen is beautiful, amazing colours and very crisp, only advantage to iphone screen is it's slightly more crisp for small text.

5: Music search is only when the music app is open, but there is a download from the market that adds music to the home screen search.

6: Loudspeaker is very loud but can be tinny at loud volumes for music and voice. excellent volume for ringing tone.

7: Camera quality is below iphone 4 but not by much.

8: 32gb card works perfectly.

9: If you really want the large screen then wait otherwise there's not much else that's an upgrade.

The biggest factor in making the decision should be the os, android is open, easy to modify and capable of more, also it had more free apps but low on games.

iphone os is locked down heavily, needs a pc to transfer files and had no widgets or any quick toggles but is undeniably better for games.

is that really that bad? do you ment about dierct sunlight to the screen?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
1) battery life seemed to be terrible at the beginning, now it's okay... maybe it's because I don't use it as much as in the beginning ;) few days ago, battery was at 60% 48 hours after charging and with low usage on MCR 3.1

2) browser is great

3) you can switch wifi on and off easily, check out this widget:

it's that easy

4) amoled screen is great, but visibility is really bad in the sun

5) I don't think you can do that in default music player, but there are much better (and free) music players for android (like TuneWiki) that support this option.

6) speaker isn't really good, and it's located at a bad spot too (on the back of the device)

7) camera is pretty bad imo

8) yes

9) judging by your interests, I think you would do better with Iphone 4, but maybe you should check both of the phones personally at store to make your own decision
